A "Zombieland" sequel has long been talked about since its initial release but due to the cast and writer's commitments to other projects, the movie has been put on hold for almost a decade.

The closest fans got to a "Zombieland" follow-up was a failed TV series in 2013, which was ultimately cancelled after only premiering the pilot episode.

"Zombieland" was a surprise success which managed to rake in over USD 102 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing zombie movie for the following years until "World War Z" took its spot in 2013.
